Under the terms of the agreement, Neutrogena will change its labeling and some product packaging, which will include a statement about “the percentage of each product that is naturally derived.” The company will also reportedly establish a $1.3-million settlement fund from which class members may receive $1 per purchase of cleansers and $2 per purchase of moisturizers, for a total of $10. Attorney’s fees are capped at $500,000, and each named class representative will receive $2,000.

Neutrogena recently settled another consumer fraud suit alleging that its anti-wrinkle cream did not work as advertised. The settlement occurred after a federal court denied class certification in that action. Additional information about the court’s ruling appears in the January 31, 2013, issue of Shook, Hardy & Bacon’s Product Liability Litigation Report.
